The team brings together a number of inspirations in their work, looking to make products that feature a sleek and functional design while also making use of [unconventional shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juno-and-mars). The collection of test tube glassware therefore intermingles scientific structures and traditional household objects. Each item is made with care, using hand-blowing techniques for a high-quality design that can't be found anywhere else. [Glasses and decanters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiskey-decanters) are offered in either blue borosilicate or a completely transparent variation. The collection was said to be created in order to celebrate water, with Lanzavecchia + Wai referring to it as "the most precious element that sustains life on earth." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Scientific-inspired Glassware:** Opportunities to create unique and functional glassware using unconventional shapes and taking inspiration from scientific structures. - **Hand-blown Glassware:** Opportunities to create high-quality and artisanal products through hand-blowing techniques. - **Water-celebrating Glassware:** Opportunities to create collections that celebrate the importance of water and sustainability. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Decor:** Opportunities to create unique and functional glassware to enhance the aesthetic value of customers' homes. - **Hospitality:** Opportunities to create high-quality artisanal glassware that can add a touch of exclusivity to the hospitality industry. - **Environmental Sustainability:** Opportunities to create products that celebrate the importance of water and emphasize sustainability to increase awareness and demand for sustainable products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artisanal Glassware Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fazeek.md) - [Wabi-Sabi-Informed Green Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-glassware.md) - [Elegant Crystalline Decor Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ensemble.md) - [Anatomy-Inspired Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/body-glasses.md) - [Captivating Tonal Drinking Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/podio-cup.md) - [Ultra-Elegant Glassware Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/domain-glass.md) - [Exquisite Glassware Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exquisite-glassware-collection.md) - [Statement Glass Curvaceous Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juno-collection.md) - ['70s Era-Inspired Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-21-glassware.md)
